Chapter 782 Dragon Slaying Order
After one stick of incense.

Gu Chan healed the wounds of the leader of the secret guards and then withdrew his hand.

The leader of the secret guards immediately knelt on both knees and kowtowed, saying, “Thank you, Prince Chan, for not killing me.”

“No need to be so polite, get up!” Gu Chan said, waving her hand.

The leader of the secret guards stood up from the ground and said with a puzzled look on his face, “Lord Chan, I don’t understand why you do this?”

“Your assassination mission failed this time. The dozen or so people you brought with you all died. I guess you didn’t have a good ending after you returned?” Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

“This…” The leader of the secret guards was speechless.

Xuanyuan Long had a violent temper. If he completed his mission and returned, he would definitely be rewarded handsomely. But now that his mission had failed, if he went back, he would probably only face death.

So in this situation, Gu Chan’s words hit his sore spot directly, leaving him with no way to refute.

Gu Chan struck while the iron was hot and said, “Instead of going back to die, you might as well surrender to me now. In this way, I can let you follow this big white rabbit and quietly go to the Earth Sect to serve. In the future, you will be my Earth Sect’s secret agent, and even if the prince wants to touch you, it won’t be that easy.”

“I understand now. It turns out that Prince Chan wants to incite me to rebel!” said the leader of the secret guards with a long sigh.

“I can’t say you’re trying to rebel, but I just value talent and don’t want a strong man like you to go back and die. Think about it for yourself! If you agree, you’re dead from now on. In the future, there will be no you as the leader of the secret guards, only my Dizong secret agent. If you don’t agree, I will let you go back and report. Make your choice!” Gu Chan said with a sly smile.

The leader of the secret guards immediately lowered his head and fell silent, thinking carefully.

After a long while, he shook his head and said, “It seems that I have no choice. Now, in order to save my life, I can only rely on you, Your Majesty.”

“Okay, you are indeed a smart person.” Gu Chan nodded with satisfaction.

After saying that, she immediately reached into the bag on her waist, took out a pen and paper, wrote a secret letter, and handed it to the leader of the secret guards.

The leader of the secret guards took the secret letter and asked, “My Lord, what is this?”

“Take this secret letter, go back with Da Baitu, and hand it to the leader of the team. He will naturally know how to arrange for you.” Gu Chan explained.

The leader of the secret guards thanked him quickly and put the secret letter away.

Gu Chan rolled her eyes and said cunningly, “Now that you have submitted to me, you know what to do when you return to Dizong?”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness. As long as I know anything about the secret guards in the palace, I will tell you everything.” The leader of the secret guards said respectfully.

“You are worthy of being the leader of the secret guards. You are so smart. I like dealing with smart people like you the most.” Gu Chan praised.

“Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. I will definitely perform well in the future and live up to Your Highness’s expectations.” The leader of the secret guards said obediently.

Gu Chan smiled with satisfaction, and said no more to him. Instead, she turned to look at the big white rabbit and said, “You should go back to Dizong with him now!”

[I will also escort you out of Kyoto safely! ] said the White Rabbit.

“No need for that. You keep following me and I don’t even have a chance to move. You’d better go back to Dizong and stay there.” Gu Chan said unhappily.

The big white rabbit was speechless.

It was afraid that Gu Chan might be in danger, but it never thought that Gu Chan was not afraid at all and even wanted to fight the assassin who came to kill her! This naturally made it feel helpless.

Gu Chan said with a grin, “You should go back and stay here, and take good care of the Order left by the old prince. When I come back in half a year, I will ask you for the Order again.”

[I… How would I know where the Sect Master’s Order is? What do you want from me?] Big White Rabbit said hesitantly, looking guilty.

“Don’t try to play tricks on me. The old prince trusted you the most when he was alive. I had guessed that he would give the sect leader’s order to you and hide it. Don’t try to fool me.” Gu Chan deliberately said in front of the leader of the secret guards.

Seeing the secret leaked, the big white rabbit immediately bared its teeth and threatened the leader of the secret guards.

The leader of the secret guards was so frightened that he quickly stepped back, with cold sweat oozing out of his forehead.

Gu Chan sneered and said, “Remember this, this secret is only known to you and me. If you dare to leak it out, I won’t have to do anything, it will tear you into pieces.”

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I will keep this secret and will never reveal a single word to anyone else.” The leader of the secret guards promised hurriedly.

Gu Chan waved her hand and said, “Then go ahead! Don’t follow me, I have to leave too.”

After saying that, Gu Chan turned and walked towards the carriage, then drove away in a swagger.

Seeing this, the big white rabbit could only obediently grab the leader of the secret guards and quietly return to Kyoto Dizong.

Early the next morning.

When Gu Chan had already safely left Kyoto for dozens of miles in a carriage, the spies from the palace came to the scene to investigate the situation, took away the bodies of the dozen secret guards and buried them, and then rushed to the imperial study to report the matter to Xuanyuan Long.

Xuanyuan Long had just woken up at this time, and was very angry. After learning that the dozen or so secret guards he sent out last night had been wiped out, he was so angry that he started smashing things in the imperial study on the spot.

Yan Li hurried forward and pulled him to comfort him, saying, “Prince, calm down. Gu Chan can escape on the first day, but he can’t escape on the fifteenth. We can send stronger warriors to assassinate him later. If that doesn’t work, we can also let the strong men there kill him after he enters the Earth Moon Country! If you get sick from anger, it will be a waste for him.”

“Damn Gu Chan, why does he always go against me? I will not be able to sleep or eat well if I don’t get rid of him.” Xuanyuan Long said gritting his teeth.

Yan Li added fuel to the fire and said, “The prince is right. If you want to secure your throne in the future, you must get rid of him, otherwise there will be endless troubles.”

“Gu Chan, you forced me to do this, so don’t blame me for being cruel.” Xuanyuan Long said viciously.

After saying that, he immediately reached into his sleeve, took out a token the size of a baby’s palm with a black dragon engraved on the front, and handed it to Yan Li.

Yan Li took the token and said in shock, “Prince, what is this?”

“You go and pass on the secret order to slay the dragon on my behalf. Any strong man in the world, no matter who he is, will receive a reward of 10 million taels of gold as long as he gets rid of Gu Chan.” Xuanyuan Long said cruelly.

Yan Li was shocked at first, then she was overjoyed and nodded in agreement quickly. Then she took the secret dragon-slaying order, which represented the symbol of the highest power of the Tiancang royal family, and quickly ran out of the imperial study to pass on the order in secret.

“Gu Chan, I don’t believe I can’t get rid of you. Once the Dragon Slaying Order is issued, your doom will come.”

Xuanyuan Long suppressed his anger, sat back in his chair and muttered to himself.

At this moment, he has made up his mind to get rid of Gu Chan. Otherwise, as Yan Li said, as long as Gu Chan is not eliminated, he will not be able to rest in peace even if he sits on the throne.
